NOTE:
If an array is divided into SLPRs and you want to prevent RAID Manager XP commands from affecting
multiple SLPRs, you must apply command device security to the logical volumes.
Specifying logical devices as command devices
To enable the system administrator to execute RAID Manager XP commands from an open-system
host, you must select at least one logical device that will not be manipulated by Continuous Access
XP or Business Copy XP, and then specify the devices as the command devices. When a RAID Manager
XP command is issued from a host, the command device receives the command. The command device
transfers the command to another logical device. Then, the command performs a Continuous Access
XP or Business Copy XP operation on that logical device.

Protecting logical devices from RAID Manager XP commands

device is not affected by RAID Manager XP commands issued via command devices from hosts.
